The record that Ms. Balmary broke was itself set during national team testing. Several other records that are currently published were also set during national team testing.<br /><br />-bill

I was on my honeymoon during the normal team selection trials, and couldn't make them. So I had one of the coaches at my club (and a USIR official) give me a test, in hopes that this would be good enough for C2.<br /><br />At no time was I trying for the National Team selection.<br /><br />It sucks that it doesn't officially count, but waddagonnado?<br /><br />Dwayne

If so, it is the same as Joan's trial this year. If not, then it's like Rangers trial a couple years back, except that you don't whine about it. <br /><br />Well, just doitagain. I suppose you could video tape it.

The 'trial' I did was not at the USIRT trials. It was simply a test that I had one of the club coaches witness (plus a number of bystanders).<br /><br />Since it wasn't at the USIRT trials, then it didn't count as a time toward making the USIRT.

I just want to commend Dwayne on being such a good example of good sportsmanship. To accept his WR row <b>not</b> being counted although it was witnessed, and to not whine about it, is to be commended. If we had more <i>professional</i> athletes with that attitude, then we would not hear about them doing all the bad things!<br /><br /><br />Congrats to all who have pushed themselves to their limits. I will most likely never row a WR, but my PB is something I am proud of!<br /><br />Darren
